LINEUP COMMENTS: No surprises. Terry Collins said he’ll give Brad Emaus a legitimate chance at second base and he’s back there today. They knew going in with Emaus he had to stay on the roster for the full season because he’s a Rule 5 pick. Given that, they might has well give him a real chance to see what he can do. The Mets don’t want to hear this, but 2011 is a throwaway year. They aren’t going to win this season so they might as well see what they have in Emaus for the future.

One thought on “Mets’ Game 1 lineup at Atlanta”

I hope one of the many ppl we have playing second in the minors step up. Many have been moved to second for various reasons and we have a few who are supposed to be good hitters. They tend to be injured which seems to be a trait of this team.
